short.
The spores are broadly elliptical or subglobose, 6-7.5u long. _Peck._

It differs from C. cornucopioides in manner of growth, paler color, and
smaller spores.

It is distinguished from Craterellus sinuosus by its pervious stem,
while very similar in color to Cantharellus cinereus.

This plant, like C. cornucopoides, dries readily, and when moistened
expands and becomes quite as good as when fresh. It needs to be stewed
slowly till tender, when it makes a delightful dish.

The plants in Figure 380 were collected near Columbus by R. H. Young and
photographed by Dr. Kellerman. They are found from July to October.

_Corticium. Fr._

Entirely resupinate, hymenium soft and fleshy when moist, collapsing
when dry, often cracked.

_Corticium lacteum. Fr._

This is a very small plant, resupinate, membranaceous, and it is so
named because of the milk-white color underneath. The hymenium is waxy
when moist, cracked when dry.

_Corticium oakesii. B. & C._

The plant is small, waxy-pliant, somewhat coriaceous, cup-shaped, then
explanate, confluent, marginate, externally white-tomentose.

The hymenium is even, contiguous, becoming pallid. Spores elliptical,
appendiculate.

I found very fine specimens of this plant on the Iron-wood, Ostrya
Virginica, which grows on the high school lawn in Chillicothe. In rainy
weather in October and November the bark would be white with the plant.
It resembles a small Peziza at first.

_Corticium incarnatum. Fr._

Waxy when moist, becoming rigid when dry, confluent, agglutinate,
radiating. Hymenium red or flesh-color, covered with a delicate
flesh-colored bloom. Some fine specimens were found on dead chestnut
trees in Poke Hollow.

_Corticium sambucum. Pk._

Effused on elder bark, white, continuous when growing, when dry cracked
or flocculose and collapsing. It grows on the bark or the wood of the
elder.

_Corticium cinereum. Fr._

Waxy when moist, rigid when dry, agglutinate, lurid. The hymenium is
cinereous, with a very delicate bloom. Common on sticks in the woods.

_Thelephora. Fr._

The pileus is without a cuticle, consisting of interwoven fibres.
Hymenium ribbed, of a tough, fleshy substance, rather rigid, then
collapsing and flocculent.

_Thelephora Schweinitzii._

[Illustration: Figure 381.--Thelephora Schweinitzii.]

Schweinitzii is named in honor of the Rev. David Lewis de Schweinitz.
Caespitose, white or pallid. Pilei soft-corinaceous,
